I'm confused on it, too.

 

Her quote is cryptic. So I'll take her clarification of it at face value. She says she intended it to mean that we should pray that the troops were on a task from God, or, that we were doing the right thing, so to speak. That is quite a bit different than saying that they are on a task from God (knowing what God would do or want) and it, while odd, is acceptable.

 

God bless you if you can read that quote and not.

 

Apparently its not just me. Do I need Republican glasses?

I think some of you want to see something that just isn't there.

OK. Who disagrees with that?

 

 

Most Democrats.

Being that it's a product of The Media Research Center, I wonder how very comprehensive the list is. After all, their slogan is "The Leader in Documenting, Exposing, and Neutralizing Liberal Media Bias" (according to Wikipedia, whose accuracy is often in question).

 

Here's their home page.

Amazing, isn't it? Republicans claim the media has liberal bias, yet Democrats swear the media has a conservative slant.

 

Which is it? Because it can't be both, can it?

 

Here's a website dedicated to exposing the conservative media bias:

 

http://mediamatters.org/

 

From their mission statement:

Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501©(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.

 

Both of these websites clearly have agendas. Much like most of the "think tanks".

The problem with some of those that are purporting to be reporting on "media bias" is that they are just as biased (on one side or another) as they claim those they are reporting about are.

From Andrew Wilkow- Yes he is a right wing talk but just pretty funny, and true IMO
